Upon hearing Bu Yunzhi's words, Leng Shaohan couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Haha, so arrogant, wanting to decide other people's fates, so confident that you can control their lives and deaths! It seems we're the same kind of people! We're all those overconfident guys who want to be enemies with the world!"

Bu Yunzhi snorted coldly, "Don't confuse me with you, you lowly creature. I'm not like you. I only trust myself. You, don't you still have that other person?"

As he spoke, Bu Yunzhi looked at Gu Liyan. For some reason, the figure of the white-clad youth gradually filled his heart with a bitter sadness.

Has he really become so arrogant that he can no longer trust anyone?

No!

But the person in this world who truly understood him has left him forever!

No one will stand in front of me to bear all the suffering anymore.

No one will sincerely listen to my heart anymore.

No one can truly gain your complete trust anymore.

That's all!

Leng Shaohan couldn't see Bu Yunzhi's expression at that moment; if he could, he would be astonished...

"Before I met Gu Liyan, I was the same. I thought I was the only demon in the world who could transform into a human, but that idea was shattered when I met him, who was almost perfect..."

Leng Shaohan raised his head, staring intently at Gu Liyan's figure as he continued to move forward.

"Many are born with potential for strength, but very few are born with charisma. Gu Liyan's charisma doesn't come from his formidable abilities, nor from the most moving words he speaks. He simply touches the hearts of everyone in the world with a single turn and a glance. Perhaps you haven't noticed, but with just that one look, you can see his heart and his willingness to lower himself and accept him as a friend!"

Leng Shaohan looked at Bu Yunzhi with some curiosity and asked, "However, I think someone as smart as you should know that you can't survive in this world by yourself alone. You must have someone you admire, right?"

Bu Yunzhi's face darkened. "Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to interfere in my affairs?"

Looking at Bu Yunzhi's somewhat evasive gaze, Leng Shaohan couldn't help but smile. "To be honest, I feel that you're not a bad person at heart. What exactly has caused you to be so obsessive now? Is there some kind of ruler above you who is controlling all of this?"

Bu Yunzhi's face was grim; he would never reveal his plans and purpose!

She turned her gaze coldly to Leng Shaohan:

"Hasn't enough time been wasted?!"

Leng Shaohan chuckled, "What's the rush? We've just finished talking about the first half of our lives, so we should talk about the second half too! In this life, we always have to strive for our goals, so let's talk about our life goals next!"

Bu Yunzhi looked at Leng Shaohan, who was talking eloquently. He hadn't expected this guy to be such a chatterbox, the kind who couldn't stop talking once he started!

"My life goal is for humans and demons to coexist, without racial discrimination and war, and this has already been acknowledged by Gu Liyan. What about you? What has been your goal so far?"

Leng Shaohan looked at Bu Yunzhi with a fawning smile:

"Whether it's your own goal or a goal set for you by someone else, you can tell me. I won't tell anyone else!"

Bu Yunzhi's lips twitched involuntarily. "You're beating around the bush with me. We've dragged this out for so long, aren't you going to make a move yet?"

“Actually, you can flirt with me the other way around. If you’re shy, we can change the subject.” Leng Shaohan said with a smile.

Bu Yunzhi narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Are you flirting with me?"

"Probably? I'm not sure, but this must be what they call awkward conversation?" Leng Shaohan raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Bu Yunzhi waved his hand, a gust of cold wind blowing through Leng Shaohan's hair, cutting off a lock. He then pointed at Leng Shaohan, furious, and cursed—

"Do you think I'm playing games with you?!"

In a life-or-death struggle, only the victor is remembered; how can we allow Leng Shaohan to treat us like this!

Even though Bu Yunzhi made the first move, Leng Shaohan silently bent down to pick up his broken hair that had fallen to the ground, looking regretful.

"Oh dear, what am I going to do? My hairstyle was meticulously styled... and it won't fit anymore. This is really bad. If I weren't wearing a mask, I'd probably look awful."

Seeing Leng Shaohan complain like this, Bu Yunzhi's lips twitched involuntarily. He really regretted accepting this guy's provocation!

"Enough!" Bu Yunzhi couldn't take it anymore. "If you don't want to fight, get out of here. Otherwise, I'll just beat you back to your original form!"

Seeing Bu Yunzhi's furious attitude, Leng Shaohan casually tossed away the broken hair in his hand and said with a smile, "Go ahead and fight, why aren't you fighting? Haven't you been fighting all along?"

"What?"

Bu Yunzhi looked at Leng Shaohan with surprise, noticing his wicked smile that resembled that of a fox—

Just then, Bu Yunzhi suddenly felt the cold air around him intensify. Looking down, he saw that the ice ladder under Leng Shaohan's feet was becoming thicker and heavier. Before Bu Yunzhi could react, ice locks suddenly appeared under his feet, binding him up in an instant. He looked at Leng Shaohan in surprise and said, "You bastard, you planned this all along!"

"Hehe, do you think I've been talking to you for so long just to find out about your background, or to get closer to you?" Leng Shaohan looked at Bu Yunzhi, who was bound by ice locks and unable to move an inch.

"Humans often say that all's fair in war, so, kid, you're still too green!"
